It would be cool to say i realised a dream I’d had for years but nothing is further from the truth. My journey into triathlons started at the Lincsquad adventure race. Not a swim,bike or run in sight! I was asked to kayak for a team for a couple of years. This then morphed into …

Halls menthol strength at Glasgow Euro AG Champs
So this is a race report about a sprint distance triathlon raced in Glasgow. Ah ha you’ll be thinking that at last, this race report can’t possibly contain the words Ironman and non-wetsuit. Sorry but I’m going to try and fit them in somehow #laughingface.

Drew Hobley IM Maastricht race report
I’m sitting here scratching at the tattoo residue on my arm, reflecting on what can only be described as one of the most special weekends I have experienced. It wasn’t something I’d planned on getting embroiled in, I don’t really like the extended training when I’ve done marathons in the past, and I’m not really …

TT for Two? Round 10 First ever 2up TT for Lincsquad a blowing success.
Wind conditions: “Just blew in from the windy city, the windy city is mighty pretty” I am currently laying immobile face down on the bed, collating a personal damage report from tonight’s 2 up TT (Lincsquad’s first ever 2 up TT). I teamed up with the Strongman Superhero from Epworth (Mr Woolgar), more of that …

So once again due to circumstances beyond our control the 10th training race went to Normanby Hall country park. I have this time decided that the write up should start by focus on statistic’s, as I know a lot of our members love their facts and figures and their data collection so:

Turner round bright eyes. Marks total eclipse of IM Maastricht
Ironman Maastricht – Race Report I’m a relative newbie in triathalon terms before doing Brigg Sprint a couple of years ago I had to pop to the Pods prior to entering to see if I could manage 16 lengths of the pool… at the time I considered myself a non-swimmer. As an adult my sporting …

Lakeland 100 – Ultra Tour of the Lake District by Gareth Crabb
Relax! This isn’t a full, step by step account of the 35+ hours of racing, complete with training and preparation details; that would almost be as challenging as the race was to complete itself and would certainly be an endurance event to simply read. No, I’ve chosen to give an outline of the race in …

TT Round 9 – Scissor, paper, stones settles winner of local TT…..
Waiting for the Lincsquad TT to arrive is like waiting for DPD to deliver that “essential” item from Wiggle or Chain Reaction. There’s the waiting where I become unsure whether I actually made the order, does the TT even exist? Then WHAM, BAM, KABOOM and SAM, “Lincsquad TT Round 9 has arrived.”

Round 9 Duathlon
Wednesday 25th July 2018 was the date we held the 9th Training race in the series of 11. Back at Burringham for this one. It seemed a little strange knowing that this would be the last one we stage here this year and due to the ongoing work to the flood defences we believe that …
